However, the ‘English board has

be impossible, whatever happens, to

Very Pf°l101`1y token precautions to
prevent the introduction of the dis.

though the _outbreak last year could
not be definitely traced to any given
source, it is believed probable that
it was brought into ireland from

HIPPOPTAMUS TO CLEAN
THE PANAMA CANAL
Colonel Goethals has been advised
by Malor Louis L. Seaman to ask
the United States government to ini.
port a herd of hippopt-_-,ni in ki-.fp
down the excessive vegetation in the
region of Late Gatum, according to
a recent report. The introduction of
these animals presents difficulties,
but the recommendation of Malor
Seaman is not to be lighiiv passed
over. I-Ile 'belongs to the United
States medical corps, was the dis-
coverer of the insect responsible for
theslesping sickness and has other-
wise won recognition as an authority
in his line.
About two years ago the hippopo-
tamus was considered as a possibil-
ity for ridding Louisiana of the wild
llyacinth and a bill was introduced
into congress providing for an im.
portation of these animals for that
Durllose, but the project fell through
and the activities of the hippopta-
mus in this country have been re-
stricted to his' performances in the
tanks and cages of the menageries.
There are many things to be said for
tho hlppoptamus as a destroyer of
such superfluous vegetation as has
impeded the work of the engineers in
the Panama district. Next to thu
elephant it is the largest of land an-
imals, weighing, when fully grown,
from four thousand to five thousand
pounds. Its stomach is sometimes
eleven feet long, and ln it the hip-
popotamus can stow away four or
five bushels of proveuder. ,
The hippopotamus has never taken
a beauty prize. Although it is call-'
ed the water-horse, it resembles the
pig mcfe than n horse. It is only
within recent years that the hippo-
potlynus has been on exhibition in
Eur pe and America. In_ 1850 two
fine' specimens. Obash and Delia,
were sent to the London zoological
garden by the viceroy of Egypt. It
/ ad taken the hunters four years to
`l*ind a suitable pair and the aroused
intense interest among the visitors
to the menagerie. They soon adailt-
ed themselves to their new conditions
and for a time were so tame that
their keepers could turn them into
the giraffe paddock and ride on their
backs. Their dispositions soon
changed, howe}_'_er, and they proved,
as is usually the case with them,
very difficult to handle. Obsush had
such n antipathy t'o`.'1ne of the keep-
ers, named Scott, that whenever he
saw him he would chase him. This
was turned to advantage to get him
into the cage when he was unwilling
to go, which was often. 300%.
wgnld appear on the scene and enter
the cage. Obash would start. in pur-
suit. As soon as he entered his cage
the door would be closed ur on him,
Scott having already made n safe
exit. Although they are such slug-
gish creatures, they can be quick
enough when it suits their purlmre-
One day Obash was lying appar-
ently asleep when a d0g 111155611 by~

40,000 PRISONERS IN RUSSIA
ROME, December 15--Considerable
excitement has been created in ad-
vanced political circles in Europe by
the publication of an alllleal on bc-
half of the political prisoners of
Russia. It is signed by over 500
leaders of European thought, and it
“sets out: _
"Since the Tsar's manifesto of
October, 1905, promising liberty to
the people of Russia, over' 40,000 per-
sons have been sentenced for politi-
cal offenses.
“Of these over 5,000 were execut-
ed, and more than 10,000 thrown in-
to the horrible ‘Katorga' (hard lab-
or) prisons.
“The recent ‘annesty’ on the occa-
sion oi the tercentenary of the Ro-
manoffs has scarcely affected the po-
'litical prisoners, and their terrible
sufferings have not been mitigated.
“Under the present regime impri-
sonment has become an endless tor-
ture. The prisons are overcrowded
to such an extent that it is imlloss-
ible for the prisoners to find rest
even on the bare floor; absolute star-
vation and most barbarous treat-
ment; have made the prisons a P91”
fect hall.
"Ten kopeks (5 cents) is the daily
allowance for a prisoner’s food, but
a greater part of it is pocketed by
the various officials.
THE SHEEP AND WOOL
INDUSTRY OF CANADA
“Sheep raising should comprehend
'one of the most important 'phadvs of
Live Stock in Canada. No country
of relative area possesses so many
natural advantages for this pursuit.
Yet the Sheep Industry has never
occupied a prominent poslticn in
Canadian agriculture and what is
worse, a serious retrogression has
been occurring in recent years."
In the illustrated article in this
week's Journal of Commerce, Mont-
real, Mr. T. Reg. Arkell of the
Live Stock Branch, Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.

CLEVELAND, O., December 15,
(Special-Train robbers tonight are

the heavy load of registered mail led
to an attempted robbery. The theory
that the derailment was caused in ani
attempt to kill Alfred H. Smitb,ne\v-

Central lines, has been discarded. It
is regarded as impossible that any-
one could have known of his pres-

CANADIAN RAILWAYS.
Canada has more miles of railway
per capita. than any other country.
We have 30,058 ini-.es in operation.
8,2120 iniles under construction, and
several thousand more miles in the
brains oi' promoters. This is a mog-
nificient achievement for the railway
builders of this country. But the
people of the 'country have also done-
their share in completing these huge
enterprises. In cash subsidies, the

045.
For 1912 the increase in cash sub-
sidics over 1911 amounted to $5.-
flt|;£,ul8, in land, 6,000,000 acres, and
in guarantees, $96,733,685. In addi-
tion to this, the Government is con-
structing the eastern division of the
Grand Trunk Pacific at a c0Bt WIIACIJ
the Minister of Finance announced in
Parliament would probably reach
$2-1a,ou0,u00, of which the expenditure
of e1'II,000,000 has already token
place. '
These items added together make
$690,;-12,119 without placing any mon-
ey value on the land grants. It is
impossible to say what the latter are
worth, but the holdings of the Gan-
adian Pacific and Canadian Northern
Railways in the West would realize
not less than $150,000,000 at prevail-
ing prices.
Yet the transportation problem re-
iruins the greatest national problem
of Canada. High transportation
charges are one of the chief causes of
our high cost ol living. We have giv-
en geucrously to our railways. They
have been allowed to fit their rates.
They are prosperous enterprises. We,
want service. We have paid for it
and will continue to pay for it, but
we must have it.
Tnere will soon be three great
transcontinental railways completed
frurn ocean to ocean. We want no
more for the present. The time has
como when the railways should stop
building main lines and devote their
attention first to covering the coun-
try with a network of branch lines,
which will serve the vast areas wait-
ing for settlement; and second, to the
improvement of their service. By
ceasing the construction of main
lines for the present, the companies
will save money to buy engines and
cars, to build terminals and sidings,
and to make other improvements ln
their service which are the crying
need of this country.-Industrial Cane

Brent Powers of Europe have now
agreed that Prince William of Wied
shall be the first sovereign of Al-

one, and Tsar Ferdinand will not

does not smile readily on Bulgaria,
and the credit for thle selection ofthe
Protestant Prince William falls to
King Carol of Rumania, who, as a
relative, well knew the man and ap-
preciated his qualifications for the
high post. At any rate, it is cer-
tain that the formal proposal to the

Germany and Austria were the first

hy Princess Louise and this or
Argyll. It was noted how ln  mi-
Droved the Princess is since as wed-
f1i11f:- She is much brighter and hop-
pier. Before she seemed always to
wear a sad expression, but now she
is all smiles and her laugh is thgg
ofa happy girl. Before her marriage
she dressed very simply ag her
clnthes scarcely could be said re-
flect any particular style. Now the
happy Princess is going ln for omni-1;
clothes. At the bazaar she looked
lovely in n Niittier blue velvet dress
with a frill at the neck and a black
but encircled with' algrettes.

opened the bazaar Princess Arthur
